6 Claims. .(Cl. lis-1540.4.)

This invention relates to a :lipstick brush applicator and more particularly toga compact de vice containing lipstick kand a brush for lapplying said=lipstick to thelips.

Heretofore when lips are to be colored or tinted, it was aired States Patent necessary to carry a lipstick in one container and an ap- Y plicator brush in another container with consequent inconvenience to the user. Furthermore, oftentimes the brush became separated from its container or the lipstick protruded from the container resulting in smearing the owners pocketbook'orbag and the contents thereof.

Furthermore, inthese cases'where the lipstick is applied directly to thelips, it isoften diilcultto obtain a 'fine outline of the vlipstick on the lips -because the lipstick itself is soft and does not maintain consistent outline when applied to the lips. Also such lipsticks require casings or containers having a multiplicity of machined parts thereby adding toV their expense.

It is an object of -my invention Ato avoid theabov'e dis advantages.

Another object of my invention is to provide a lipstick brush applicator having a minimum of parts wherein, the lipstick and brush are together and complete in themselves.

Still another object of my invention is to provide a lipstick brush applicator wherein the brush when properly manipulated and without removal therefrom takes up the desired amount of lipstick for application to the lips.

One further object of the present invention is to provide a device wherein the brush and lipstick when not in use are relatively xed and do not come into contact with each other.

One other object of this invention is to provide a device of such construction wherein a replaceable smear proof lipstick portion is provided at one end thereof, and a brush of unique design is provided at the other end.

A specific object of my invention is to provide a novel device of any suitable material having a supply of lipstick material and an applicator brush which when fixed in the device is in rigid position without making contact with the lipstick material and which brush can be readily swiveled to make desired contact with the material.

Other objects and advantages of my invention will become apparent from the following detailed description taken in conjunction with the accompanying drawings, in which:

Fig. 1 is a sectional view of a preferred embodiment of my invention;

Fig. 2 is a view of Fig. 1 showing the brush thereof in movable position;

Fig. 3 is a sectional view of a modification of Fig. l;

Fig. 4 is a plan view of another embodiment of my invention;

Fig. 5 is a plan, partly broken away view of Fig. 4; and

Fig. 6 is a sectional view taken on line 6-6 of Fig. 4.

Referring now to the drawing wherein like reference characters refer to like parts throughout, in Figs. l and 2 I show a device 10 comprising a removable or replaceable g 2,783,489 .l Ce Patented Mar. a, i957 k2 baselmember '11, and an upper connectible -casing `member 12. While 'not limited 'to form, it -will 'be noted that sa-id base 11 is as shown, cup or cylindrical shaped, and has .a -recessed 4peripheral portion 13 for accommodating the lower endof thedevice.

Inside base 11 there is provided a lipstick material 14 such as of usual and well vknown compositions. Said ymateria-l is hollowed at `its center as shown to --permit insertion and restingtherein-of'the hair end 15 vof brush 16.

Said casing -12 as shown, is provided at vits upper end with a closed top having a downwardly extending concentric collar or sleeve 17 in which said brush v16 fits. It will be noted that the brush -16 has a top piece'18 with an inset 19 lso that the top piece rests onthe top of the casing 12, and when inserted as shown in Fig. l is in fixed position without any part of it touching the material 14.

vExtending `downwardly from inset 19, brush 16 has a reduced portion 20 :and a xballpswivel 21 which when the brush `is used rests against the sleeve 17 to permit tilting -of the brush as shown in Fig. 2,;and permit -hair end 15 tomake contact with -theflipstick material 14.

In Fig. -3 ythere is shown -a base 22 having an upper ,recessed threaded portion Ifor engagement with the threaded end 23 of casing 24. The brush 25 as shown is provided with `a recessed'section 26 so as to permit tilting Sin the sleeve 27 of lcasing 24.

ln theforms described above, it will be noted that when vthe-brush is to I'be used, it is lifted from its seat at the top Vof the casing to permit `the vball 21 or recessed .section 26 to move about the .sleeve as a swivel so that the hair end of -the Vbrush makes contact with the lipstick material. vFurthermore the material can be placed on the brush by `rotating the brush around it-s swivel against the material or the brush may be maintained in inclined position as shown and the device rotated.

In the modification shown in Figs. 4 to 6 inclusive, it will be noted that l provide a device 28 of rectangular flat shape. Said device is provided with a pair of snap hinged closure members 29 and 30. One of said members, for example 3i), as shown, is provided with a sleeve v 31, through which passes a brush of the type shown in Figs. 1 to 3, to form contact with lipstick material 14 which is mounted on a disc 32 at the other end of said member.

Said disc 32 is provided with a central opening 33 for accommodating a pin 34 in the closure member 30. Also, the disc has a central portion forming a shaft 35 with a spaced ldisc 36 and an extension 37 adapted to form contact with the interior of the other closure member 29 which retains the disc in position on said pin 34. It will be noted that said disc is replaceable and has its outer peripheral portion extending outwardly of the device through a slot 3S in the member 30, thereby permitting its rotation when used in conjunction with either 16 or 25.

From the foregoing it will be noted that by my invention, I provide a relatively simple economically made compact easy to handle lipstick brush applicator wherein the combined swivel action of the brush and contact of the same with the lipstick material, is affected without the disadvantages of the heretofore used types of lipsticks and brushes.

While preferred embodiments of my invention have been described and illustrated it is to be understood that modifications as to form, size, arrangement of parts and use of material may be made without departing from the spirit and scope of my invention as claimed.

I claim:

1. A lipstick brush applicator comprising a container for lipstick material in said container, a brush extending into the container adapted to contact the lipstick material, said container having interiorly extending sleeve means for holding the brush in relatively straight position in the container, and reduced swivel means on the brush to permit slight retraction and tilting of the brush while in the container to come into contact with the material when said brush is moved relatively of the holding means.

2. A lipstick brush applicator comprising a container having a sleeve neck at one end thereof, said neck extending into the interior of the container, a lipstick material in said container, a brush extending through the sleeve into the container and having a head portion resting on said sleeve, and reduced swivel contact means on the brush contacting the sleeve for permitting tilting of said brush at said sleeve when said brush is slightly retracted from the container to remove some of the material therefrom.
